From b5ef0040b4e30186d4fd563a5b0f6bf3845cfd5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Icarus Murqin Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 20:15:25 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Write down what installing on Fedora takes The README has Arch and Ubuntu on it, and the two things that differ on Fedora are the two that decide whether anything works at all. The package names are its own, and `systemctl --user enable --now ydotool` has nothing to enable there: Fedora ships ydotool as a system service only, and its ydotoold holds a root-owned socket at mode 600. The unit is green, the daemon is up, and every paste is refused. The drop-in the README now spells out points ydotoold at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/.ydotool_socket and hands it over by uid, which is the path the client already looks at, so nothing has to carry YDOTOOL_SOCKET. Red Hat closed the same report as NOTABUG in 2023, so this stays a step the user takes rather than one a later package will take for them. install.sh was asking whether the unit was up, which is the question that answers wrongly here. It now asks whether the socket is one this user may write to, which is what auto-paste actually needs, and it names which of the three ways it failed: a socket handed to nobody, a daemon that put its socket somewhere else, or no daemon at all. On Arch and everywhere else the answer is the same one as before. ffmpeg-free out of Fedora's own repositories is enough, against the usual advice to reach for RPM Fusion. That build disables four video decoders, h264, hevc, vc1 and vvc, and keeps every audio decoder it has, AAC among them, while Dikte only ever asks a video file for its audio track. The models that run on this machine ask for nothing either, which is worth saying because it is now the way Dikte starts. The Ubuntu builds run on Fedora unchanged; whisper.cpp transcribed a clip here without a package being added, and llama.cpp came down in its Vulkan build and found the card. That last part is not luck: kwin-libs requires libvulkan.so.1, so the loader is on every Plasma desktop by way of the compositor, and it recommends the Mesa drivers alongside itself. --- README.md | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ README.tr.md | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ install.sh | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 29ce1b4..f354e8a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -30,6 +30,41 @@ systemctl --user enable --now ydotool # needed for auto-paste dikte # the settings window opens on first run ``` +On Fedora KDE the packages are named differently, and `ydotool` takes one step +more: + +```sh +sudo dnf install pipewire-utils wl-clipboard ydotool ffmpeg-free python3-pyqt6 +``` + +Fedora ships `ydotool` as a system service rather than a user one, and +`ydotoold` then listens on a root-owned socket your session cannot write to, so +auto-paste fails with the daemon running.
